_{Fundraising Fun!}

We were thrilled to sponsor both the Walk For Wards event at Upton Country Park and the Elf Dash at Branksome Chine last year. Both events were organised by the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity.

Our offices also took part in Diverse Abilities’ Christmas Present Amnesty and Book Donations for World Book Day. Staff have enjoyed supporting quiz nights for Forest Holme as well as a Valentine's Bake Off in support of Growing Compassionate Communities. We’re looking forward to once again supporting the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride later this year! As always our staff have been fantastic at fundraising and getting involved.
